Seven Lucky Consumer Bizs
With shopping no longer their favorite pastime, Americans appear to be spending their money in other ways, such as acquiring new skills, getting help with their finances and visiting the dentist.
This change in spending behavior is helping trade schools, accounting firms and even your neighborhood dentist survive the economic downturn better than other businesses, according to an industry report.
Seven industries are clearly benefiting from a pickup in sales over the past 12 months.
• Auto repairs
• Home repairs
• Supermarkets
• Trade schools

I have to admit i am one of those people. Before the financial crisis i would only go to the dentist when i absolutely had to, but now i’m going to two different low income dentists to get them fixed as soon as possible at a low price. it’s weird how that work’s out. and i know a few people who are leaving the field they worked in for year’s to go to some sort of trade school for something totally different that they never had an interest in before.
